Golden Eaglets’ striker Victor Osimhen on Thursday at Concepcion in Chile equaled the long-standing FIFA U-17 World Cup scoring record of nine goals in a tournament.

NAN reports that he achieved the feat after his goal in the 4-2 defeat of Mexico at the Estadio Municipal.

The record was previously jointly held by Frenchman
Florent Sinama Pongolle and Ivorian Souleymane Coulibaly.

They were top scorers at the global cadet championship at Trinidad and Tobago in 2001 and Mexico in 2011 respectively.

At Chile 2015, Osimhen had earlier achieved a rare feat of equaling the seven-goal scoring record earlier achieved.

The likes of Nigeria’s Macauley Chrisantus (2007), Spain’s David (1997), Ghana’s Ismael Addo (1999) and Sweden’s Berisha (2013) had earlier achieved this.

NAN reports that Osimhen is Golden Eaglets’ leading scorer, going into Chile 2015 with a remarkable 41 goals in 73 international and domestic matches.

The striker had opened his Chile 2015 account with a goal in the 2-0 win over U.S. on the opening day.

He continued with a brace in the 5-1 defeat of hosts Chile.

Osimhen was also Nigeria’s scorer in the 2-1 loss to Croatia to round off the group phase.

He was also in superb form at the commencement of the knockout stage, by grabbing the first hat-trick of Chile 2015 in the crushing 6-0 defeat of Australia in Round 16.

The striker followed up his act with a goal each in the 3-0 and 2-1 win against Brazil and Mexico respectively in the quarter and semi-finals.

With the final match ahead, Osimhen is now on the threshold of history to break the record of most goals in a single tournament at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

THE HERDSMEN FROM HELL- Femi Fani Kayode
"Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better and the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph"- His Royal Majesty Haile Selassie 1, Emperor of Ethiopia.

If there was ever a time to remember the words of Haile Selassie and speak out against evil this is it. With the abduction of the elder statesman and June 12th struggle hero,
Chief Olu Falae, from his home by a group of Fulani herdsmen in south western Nigeria it is time for us to seriously consider the expulsion of all Fulani herdsmen from the southern part of our country.
We thank God and commend the efforts of the Inspector-General of the Nigerian police that Chief Falae was returned home safely after a harrowing three days.
Given his status in Yoruba land, had this not been so there would have been cataclysmic consequences for the unity of our country.
It is because we wish to avoid such a scenario that it is important that we get these marauders and vandals out of our territory as quickly as possible.
This is especially so given the fact that, by Falae's testimony, it is clear that the Fulani herdsmen that abducted him were working hand in hand with Boko Haram.
These herdsmen have become the pests of our nation. They are like the east African tsetse fly: wherever they go they suck the life blood out of their hosts and, like the locust, they destroy everything in their path.
They are like leeches: they indulge in a parasitic mode of nutrition and they suck the blood of the carcass until their victim is left for dead.
Like the Arab supporter of APC, they are only known for the most hideous of things. This includes terror, intimidation, theft, murder, rape, abduction, mutilation, the violation of the rights of others, the destruction of the land and crops of farmers and the destruction of property.

Anyone that doubts this should ask the people of the north central zone what they have been suffering in the hands of these vagabonds and vagrants for the last 50 years. This is especially so in Plateau, Benue, Niger, Kwara, Nassarawa, Taraba and Adamawa states.
Yet up until 20 years ago this was essentially a northern problem and it did not affect the south. Sadly that has changed. It has now become a national plague that knows no boundaries and whose poison threatens to consume us all.
In the last few years the Fulani herdsmen have attacked, ravaged and pillaged many rural communities south of the River Niger and they have slaughtered and raped thousands of innocent people in the south-south, the south-east and the south-western zones of our country.
We recall how, after a violent clash between them and some Yoruba farmers in Oyo state in 2000, General Buhari (as he then was) led a strong delegation of northern leaders to see the late Governor of Oyo state, Governor Lam Adeshina. On arrival Buhari put the following question to him: "why are YOUR people killing MY people?" This was a classic case of a Freudian slip.
The Bible says ‘’out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks’’. The general had spoken his mind. Governor Adeshina was shocked with disbelief and he responded by telling Buhari that he was rather surprised that a former Head of State would refer to one ethnic group as "his’’ people whilst referring to another as someone elses'.
He said that this was especially so given the fact that people were killed on both sides of the divide in what was a sad and unfortunate conflict.
The insensitivity of Buhari to the Yoruba farmers and their plight in the hands of the Fulani raiders was noted from that moment on. Ever since that conversation took place the lines have been drawn and the south west has been on alert.
The abduction of Falae may well have brought things to a head because today virtually every self-respecting Yoruba man is calling for strong resistance to these alien cattle-rearers whose criminal activities have led to nothing but blood, tears and carnage.
If the government refuses to stop them then it is very clear that some communities may end up doing so themselves.
Yet there is an even more sinister dimension to this problem than most people care to admit. That dimension is best illustrated by the following question.
Can there be any truth in the assertion that the Fulani herdsmen are nothing less than the vanguard and covert armed wing of the Fulani ruling class which has managed to infiltrate the south under the ingenious guise of selling cows?
Are they sleeper cells of a much bigger army and a much wider cause? Are they, as Falae has suggested, working hand in hand with Boko Haram?
If a major conflict were to arise would those sleeper cells be activated and would they commence the wholesale slaughter of the indigenous population in their host states? As painful as it may appear these are questions that we must ask.
The fact that the herdsmen demanded for a 100 million naira ransom from Falae speaks volumes. The question is this: what do mere cattle-rearers want with 100 million naira?
Even more instructive is the fact that when they were offered 2 million naira they responded by saying that that amount would not be enough for Boko Haram.
Given all this it is clear to me that we must begin to look at the wider picture. We must accept the ugly reality that there may be more to all this than meets the eye.
This is especially so given the fact that up until the time of writing this piece not one of Falae's captors has been apprehended by the police and they seem to have vanished into thin air. One wonders what transpired. Were they granted amnesty or are they ghosts?

Can there be any truth in the suggestion that there was some kind of official collusion in the abduction? Was it an attempt to put Falae, and by extension the Yoruba, in their place for vigorously supporting the idea of a national conference?
Is it an attempt to intimidate those from the south west that opposed President Buhari in the 2015 presidential elections? If so it will not work.
Afenifere, the leading socio-cultural group of the south west of which Falae is a leading member, and the Yoruba people generally have a way of rising to the occasion when they are threatened, cheated or persecuted. History proves that.
Worthy of note are the words of Dr. Frederick Fasheun and Otunba Gani Adams, both leaders of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) in this matter. Only the unwise would ignore their counsel.

Another curious twist to the tale is the fact that it took the Buhari administration two days to make any formal announcement on Falae's abduction and just the day after they finally did so the elder statesman was suddenly released.

The question is this: who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes and who is attempting to test our resolve and test the waters?
Whatever the answer to these questions are one thing remains clear. The days of killing people with impunity and stripping them of their lands and possessions are long over.
The Fulani herdsmen may well believe that they have one of their own in the Villa today but that does not mean that they will get away with their murderous ways or their sheer impunity.
It is most unwise for them to continue to test the resolve of the people of the south in this way. I say this because collectively southerners are slow to anger but irresistible in battle.
When pushed to the wall they often indulge in what Dr. Amanze Obi, the respected columnist for Nigeria's Sun newspaper, once described as ''southern fury''.
Permit me to conclude this intervention with an interesting and relevant contribution from the famous British historian, writer and educationalist Dr. T.R. Batten. He wrote:

"The Fulani were at their most influential in Gobir.Then a dispute broke out between their Imam, Usman Dan Fodiyo and Sarkin Gobir Yunfa.The Fulani rallied behind their leader who encouraged them to defy their Hausa Chief. He began a jihad and fighting broke out. Thus the Fulani seized the country by force against the will of those who lived there. The enmity had nothing to do with religion for among those who fought (against the Fulani) were many Muslims. It was about the Fulani's wish to seize power from the Hausas."
It follows that the herdsman and those that they represent conquer by infiltration, assimilation and guile. Those that doubt this should find out what became of the ancient Hausa kingdoms. May God deliver us from the vagabonds and vagrants in our midst.

Jega is his role model

Good for her and her gate

As IGP coordinates operations.

The rescue of Chief Olu Falae from his captives on September 24th, 2015 was made possible as the Inspector-General  of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, fdc NPM coordinated both aerial and land operations to ensure the freedom of the former presidential candidate of the SDP.  

The IGP moved in some Technical teams to reinforce the efforts of Ondo State Police Command. The team started the operation in the early hours of the aforementioned date, combed every nook and cranny of Ondo state till success was achieved in Owo.

While re-uniting Chief Olu Falae with his family, the Inspector-General of Police said; those who think Nigeria is lawless should have a rethink as the Nigeria Police Force and other sister agencies are everywhere to deal decisively with those miscreants who intend to test the capabilities of the Force. He further said that the Former Secretary to the Federal Government is hale and hearty meanwhile, the Nigeria Police promised to leave no stone unturned till the perpetrators of the dastardly act are brought to book.

Patiently waiting.

Read this somewhere,
Most Nigerians have been following the recent happenings in the country between the head of the legislature, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and the puppet masters holding the strings of the Code of Conduct Bureau.

Personally, as I watched the events unfold, I could not help but notice some unanswered questions concerning this case and since I couldn’t answer these questions myself, I decided to ask them to my fellow Nigerians:


1. If it takes 12years for the CCB to investigate one governor, how many years will it take them to investigate all the governors? (Further Maths Question; make CCB the subject of the formula).

2. I thought that paragraph 15, Section 2, of the 1999 Constitution only permits a Judicial Officer to act as the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau , and the said chairman is expected to take a Judicial oath and not the mere oath taken by Danladi Umar and other members of the CCB? In other words, by virtue of this, can I categorically say that Hon. Umar has fraudulently ascribed to himself the position of a justice? (Woollup, woollup and woollup with that?)

3. With what I have heard about the self-acclaimed justice Danladi Umar having a standing trial with the EFCC and also being a chronic bribe taker, is it possible that Self-proclaimed Justice Umar is being overzealous because Senator Bukola Saraki may have refused to offer him a bribe? Hehehehehe relax, we are getting there.

4. If the Executive can attack the head of the Legislative branch for simply being a non-conformist? Isn’t it a clear indication that President Buhari does not really understand the democratic doctrine of balance of powers?

5. Why is it that Tinubu is fighting so hard to get his candidate sitting on the seat of the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? Isn’t it also clear that he has a predetermined agenda to turn us all into beautiful and handsome Nigerian puppets?

6. We have seen that Tinubu has attacked Babatunde Fashola using his news outlets like The Nation, The Punch and Premium Times, however, he seems to have a hard-on when it comes to Saraki. Attacking him not once; not twice; but almost every day since he assumed office on the 9th of June.  Abeg, make una help me ask Tinubu and his editors oh: “Na only Saraki waka come?”.

7. Like number 5, has anybody noticed that Uncle Tinubu has been a Big Bully of late? Why is it that when things do not go his way, he uses the media and the army of beholden to Bourdillon officials’ at his disposal to fight his battle?

8. Mind you, Saraki’s Senate is investigating EFCC for stealing recovered funds; EFCC is investigating the Chairman of the CCB, Danladi Umar, for corrupt practices, official impropriety and victimization of junior staff under his watch. Could it be that the EFCC is using the CCB to cut a deal with Danladi Umar?

9. It is also obvious that the CCT did not grow up in Yoruba land, because they lack respect, or does Section 6 of the Constitution not state that The High Court is a superior court, while the CCT is an inferior court since it is amenable to the judicial review of a superior court because a statute/law creates it?

10. In Article 24, section 2, of the *Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act*, we clearly see that “Prosecutions for all offences referred to in this Act shall be instituted in the name of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the Attorney-General of the Federation or such officers in the Federal Ministry of Justice as the Attorney-General of the Federation may authorize so to do”. Given that Nigeria’s last Attorney General left office in May, when the cabinet of former President Goodluck Jonathan was dissolved, it is important for us to ask; on whose authority has the 13 count charge been instituted on? Who is the oga at the top?

11. Why does the CCB have to drain its arsenal on just one man? Is Bukola Saraki the only two-time former governor to declare for an elective position? Or is he the only remaining threat to the puppet masters?

12. How come the allegations are based on the declaration that happened in 2003, not on those that were filled in 2007, or 2011, or even 2015?

13. Since Buhari announced that he’ll be making public his ministerial list, the list said to cut across all the defecting parties (ACN, AD, ANPP, CPC & PDP) could it be that these puppet masters and award winning gladiators are afraid their candidates will be subjected to rigorous Senate screenings? Since Saraki has pledged to ensure checks and balances and discourage ‘bow and go’ confirmation?

14. Buhari himself has said before that Senator Bukola Saraki’s emergence, as the Chairman of the 8th Assembly was constitutional. Now, why will he watch some cabal in his government use unconstitutional means to remove him?

15. I also recall that when Tinubu was slammed with a 3-count charge by the same CCT, his party the ACN issued a public press statement insisting that the actions of the CCB were overzealous. Now I ask where is the backing of the APC in Saraki’s case? Why is he standing alone? Isn’t the trial basically the same as Tinubu’s 2011 experience, or is Tinubu simply above the law? In addition to this, Tinubu specifically requested that his
trial be moved to Lagos. With the turn of events, can Saraki equally ask that his case be moved to Kwara? Shay what is good for the goose is also good for the gander? Don’t worry; we will consult the gods on this one.

16. Now, it’s the CCT that is being used. Who will they use next? Fellow Nigerians: are we all going to seat back, fold our hands and let all these puppet masters use us all one by one? I’ll leave you to answer that.

But meanwhile, I hope these few questions of mine, will let you all understand that the mathematics of Saraki’s case does not add up. If it does, abeg, help me and do the math so that I will not fail the next time they ask me a question like: ‘How many Tinubu’s and Buhari’s does it take to witch hunt 1 Saraki?’

Your guess is as good as mine.

Melbourne, a city in Australia, has been named the best city in the world to live in for the fifth year in the row.

Vienna in Austria came second to the Australian city in the 'Global Liveability Ranking,' followed by the Canada cities of Vancouver and Toronto, and Australia's Adelaide.

Unsurprisingly, the Syrian city of Damascus--which has been ravaged by the country's civil war--was last on the list of 140 major cities.

It was followed by Dhaka in Bangladesh, Port Morseby in Papua New Guinea, Lagos in Nigeria and the Libyan capital of Tripoli, which has also been the victim of an ISIS insurgency.

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey took account of cities' healthcare, education, safety, culture, environment and infrastructure.

Melbourne again achieved a near-perfect score of 97.5 out of a possible 100.

Vienna recorded an impressive 97.4, Vancouver 97.3, Toronto 97.2 and Adelaide--the second Australian city in the top five--got 96.6.

"Those that score best tend to be mid-sized cities in wealthier countries with a relatively low population density," the EIU report said.

"These can foster a range of recreational activities without leading to high crime levels or overburdened infrastructure."

But the world has become a more dangerous place to live, according to the EIU report which said the global 'stability score' fell by 2.2 per cent over the last five years.

Several cities across the globe have suffered a decline due to recent terror attacks, ongoing conflict and general instability.

France's capital, Paris--the victim of last year's violent Charlie Hebdo attack--was one of six western European nations whose liveability score decreased.

Another seven in eastern Europe, including Ukraine where Russian rebels are battling the country's troops, have also become worse places to live.

The country's capital, Kiev, saw the sharpest fall over the last 12 months and now ranks among the 10 least liveable cities in the list

Deteriorating living conditions in these regions affects the global average, the survey's editor said.

Jon Copestake added: "The threat to personal safety, whether in the form of crime, unrest or conflict, has knock-on implications for other aspects of liveability.

"Last year, the conflict in Ukraine, the terror attack in Paris and austerity in Athens, Greece, formed a sobering backdrop to regional liveability."

Meanwhile, Moscow and St Petersburg's scores were negatively impacted by Russia's involvement in the Ukraine conflict.

The international community has imposed strict economic sanctions on the country. Meanwhile, its anti-homosexuality stance has meant many artists and tourists have boycotted the country as a tourist destination.

In western Europe, Paris and Athens experienced the sharpest declines. Attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices affected the French capital's ranking. It fell out of the top 20 cities into 29th place.

Athens has felt the force of Greeks crippling economic crisis and austerity, which has hindered other areas like healthcare.

The Greek capital, ranked 72nd, was the only city in Western Europe to fall outside the 'top tier' of liveability.

The ranking, which takes account of 'lifestyle challenges' in 140 cities worldwide, revealed that the average liveability across the world has fallen over the last five years, due to a 'sense of global instability.

But several cities did buck the trend by registering improvements in scores since 2010.

Zimbabwe's Harare was the 'most improved' city, going up by 5.1 points to 42.6 out of 100. It was closely followed by Kathmandu in Nepal which went up 3.9 and the opulent city of Dubai which went up 3.4 points to 74.7

Hilarious indeed.

Good for him

This is serious

I do appreciate the immense pain that the unfortunate death of the Late Oba Okunade Sijuwade has caused his Oloris, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the entire people of the Kingdom of Ife in particular and Osun State in general, who must be grieving at the demise of the Oba. Oba Sijuwade was, undoubtedly, a very eminent citizen and his death will be felt not only by his people but indeed, the entire nation. We can, nevertheless, be consoled from knowing that Oba Sijuwade has gone to rest in the bosom of his Maker and left behind him a good name and worthy legacy. Indeed, ‘Erin wo’.

We have been inspired, over the years, by Oba Sijuwade’s most impressive career as a tested manager of men and resources, a proprietor of repute, and an industrialist of distinction. From the Tribune Group where he had his early experience in the private sector through the Leventis family and therefrom into private entrepreneurship, he truly distinguished himself as a businessman of note.

His attainments, over the years, surely culminated in his unanimous nomination and coronation as the Ooni Olubuse II of Ile-Ife since November 1980. In this capacity, he functioned as Chancellor of the University of Uyo in Akwa Ibom State in 1988. It is a measure of his selfless and qualitative service to our dear country that he was honoured with the revered national award of the Commander of the Federal Republic, CFR, by former President Alhaji Shehu Shagari in 1983.

The late Oba Sijuwade was a patriotic and highly respected traditional ruler who had immeasurable love for his people and great faith in a united Nigeria. I remember his firmness in support of Government at all levels when I was President of Nigeria. His staunch support was appreciated and would always be remembered for it. He, accordingly, stood out as a voice of honesty and forthrightness in national affairs. He was at the same time a fervent promoter of mutual tolerance and understanding not only among the diverse people who lived in his domain but also across the country. The toga of acrimony, thuggery and violence which stigmatized the politics and the people of Ife and Modakeke for many years was permanently brought to an end by him with the support of his royal colleagues. Today, there can be no gainsaying that his nearly four-decade reign was marked by unprecedented peace-making and lasting peace and prosperity in Ife and Modadeke.

The late Oba followed the tradition of his great predecessors. He was a great traditional leader, urbane and respected by his subjects. His influence transcended the Kingdom of Ife and, indeed, Osun State. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with traditional rulers across Nigeria and beyond the shore of Nigeria and was very well respected among his counterparts from the South, North and East. He was a unifying force not just in Ife but in the whole of the South Western zone and beyond.

Oba Sijuwade’s journey to meet his ancestors means an irreplaceable loss to his family, his people, Osun State and, indeed, Nigeria. For those of us who knew Oba Sijuwade closely for many years, the good times we shared, the successes we achieved together and the lessons we learned are as consoling as the legacy he left behind. Only about ten days ago he invited me to Ife to share with him his views and feelings on some national and community issues. It was like a parting shot.

Oba Sijuwade may no longer be with us but his legacy endures. He had a vision for his Kingdom and pursued it with every resource available to him. We must not let that vision for the greatness of Ife and the entire Yorubaland depart with him.

As we bid farewell to this great Nigerian, let us rededicate ourselves to the values he cherished and lived by such as love of the country and community as well as the readiness to help the less fortunate at all times.

On behalf of my family and on my own behalf, I extend heartfelt condolences on the final transition of Alaiyeluwa Okunade Sijuwade and pray that the Almighty God grant you all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

May the soul of the dear departed rest in perfect peace.
